Scenario

When your ethics discussion group isn't ready for real ethical questions

A group of us who work in tech started meeting to discuss the ethical implications of what we're building, but I'm starting to realize that most of them want to find ways to feel better about continuing exactly what they're doing while I'm questioning whether any of this work is justifiable. I don't know if I should push the conversation deeper or if that will just blow up the whole group.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Someone has discovered that their colleagues want moral comfort rather than moral challenge, leaving them isolated in their willingness to question fundamental assumptions.
